[Asia Economy Reporter Ryu Jeong-min] Park Kyung-mi, the spokesperson for the Blue House, stated on the 31st, "President Moon Jae-in received a report on the additional procurement plan for COVID-19 vaccines in 2022 at today's Cabinet meeting and instructed, 'Even if the quantity is deemed sufficient for next year's demand, consider changes in the situation such as the expansion of vaccination age groups and the emergence of additional vaccination demands like booster shots.'"

President Moon said, "Even if the annual quantity is sufficient, if the timing of vaccine introduction is delayed, it may be difficult to accelerate the vaccination pace, so carefully plan the timing of introduction to ensure stable vaccination."
